ART - We were discussing all the people (former co-workers) He talked to getting manuals & parts books for His boring mill.

He was also interested in repair parts availability. "NLA" wasn't in G&L's vocabulary. As long as the $$$$ was right. I typically bought old service parts and outside machining... I looked at 40-50 yr old prints daily...and 70-80 yr old prints about once a month. Didn't take much of a repair part now to exceed the price paid 80 yrs ago for a WHOLE machine tool.

Thanks Charlie (Digger) for accepting my application and I'm sure you'll be hearing from me more in the near future. Donnie hooked me up with the 125 on this site and I'm making the arrangements to purchase and ship it now.

Thanks Jim

Jim S.
Glad to have you around.

Boy i dunno if we can handle 2 guys from Nova Scotia though, we might have to boot Don T. off and keep you around.

gee thanks Charlie,i know you will see more guys from up here wanting to join this fine Cub Cadet site lol and thanks for the help. now to get the tractor to Frank C in maine! any ideas ! later Don

 

[jspence]

Charlie I think Donnie would be a little upset with me if you did that. I was wondering if you have any good contacts in Maryland to help out getting the tractor I'm buying moved and/or checked out.

4.5 inches of white stuff, about 4 hours of seat time. Driveways nor sidewalks were safe from the 1650 Did the entire neighborhood. Never had a minutes trouble. Sorry no pics. Greg they did call it right for once. Now need deeper snow to really try it out. John

 

[dsauve]

Must be nice we had about 6 inches of the white stuff, I sure couldn't have asked for better throwing snow tho. I threw 12 places in 3 hours tonight, all in the dark and I know they all will look good in the am.

Charlie keep up the snow dance, I love this stuff.
How many other guys actually use there old Cubs comercialy? Just curiouse, I am the only one for miles that actually seems to eork an old rig for all seasons.

Charlie- ya could have done a better snow dance this go around!!! Ya don't have to do your "deep freeze dance" though!!! LOL Had both snow movers out today started with the 582M with the blade in the am and then after the plows went by I took out the 1864 with the 451 on it to just see what kind of a snow mover it will be, and let me just say it is a snow eatting machine!!

I came back in looking like Frosty The Snowman!!

 

[lbuttke]

Got only a couple of inches of snow today, no time to move any befor having to head out for work.
I get to play in the snow and cold tomarow.

Hugh-
You're too ugly for Frosty The Snowman!

 

[hsimon]

[kweaver]

Hugh - The last time Art looked in the mirror he got in serious trouble with his better half. She had to drive down to the gas station for two weeks to put her make-up on.
